Désiré Doué must return to the infirmary. Having just returned from a calf injury, contracted at the beginning of last September, the 20-year-old attacking midfielder suffered a new physical problem on Wednesday evening, during the draw between PSG and Lorient (1-1), on behalf of the 10e day of Ligue 1.
As we entered the last half hour of play, the former Rennais collapsed on the pitch, writhing in pain. Hit behind the right thigh, the French international was unable to stand up. He was evacuated on a stretcher, before leaving the Moustoir stadium on crutches.
The day after the match, PSG gave news of their player. “
Injured during the match against Lorient, Désiré Doué suffers from a muscle injury in his right thigh and will be unavailable for a few weeks. A new point will be made after the international break”, wrote the French champions in a press release.
“Désiré, the whole turn is with you”
So forfeited for the reception in Nice this Saturday (1-0 victory for PSG), Désiré Doué was entitled to a great show of support from the Collectif Ultras Paris (CUP). The latter dedicated a banner to him on the sidelines of the kick-off: “Désiré, the whole turn is with you », We could read. A message that the person concerned must have appreciated.
Absent for several weeks, Désiré Doué will take new exams after the international break in November. According to RMC Sport, his injury would be less significant than expected. The native of Angers could thus make his return before the end of the year, or at the latest in January 2026.
